The Yanmar powershift transmission works much like driving an automobile with an automatic transmission, but shifting the gears manually. You can shift up and down through the forward gears without depressing the clutch, and stop and reverse direction by shifting through neutral without depressing the clutch. This allows the implement to continue turning at full speed because the clutch hasn't been engaged. Because it is not necessary to engage the clutch to change ground speeds or stop and reverse direction, the clutch can be used exclusively to control the PTO. By use of this scheme, Yanmar achieved the functionality of a live PTO with what is essentially a transmission driven PTO.
